Warning: This is... etchy. It has... adult themes, (no, not that far), but still, if you're under 13... don't read it.

A Trip to the Bookstore

"You are all, to go on a mission." Shigure said, rather dramatically. He held his pencil to his chin, and grinned at the three teenagers presented in front of him.

"A mission, Shigure-san?" Tohru asked, clutching her hands to her chest in excitement, "What kind of mission?"

"A mission that will affect man kind." Shigure answered, equally as dramatic as his first statement. Kyo and Yuki exchanged side glances, glared, and looked back at Shigure, before wondering if looking at each other would have been a better option. So, they looked at Tohru instead.

"So, will you accept this mission?"

There was a chorus of "No" from Yuki and Kyo, but a loud "Yes" from Tohru, who when she actually got the task, she was less eager to actually do it.

"Great!" Shigure said, clapping his hands together, ignoring Yuki and Kyo, who were enveloped in an anime style black rain cloud, "Your mission is to go to the local book store!"

"You call that a mission, you stupid dog?" Kyo shot, glaring daggers into the dogs neck, just waiting for the right moment to rip it out.

"Yeah." Shigure said, looking a bit put out. A bit. Not much. "And your target is: Beach Bitches!"

The trio fell silent. Tohru was looking very distraught, and she turned to Yuki, then Kyo, then to Yuki, discovering that the pair were only inches away from ripping off the dogs head, and eating his body afterwards.

Finally, Kyo managed to say: "What the hell have you been reading…"

Yuki decided to pipe in as well, "You do know that what you want is a… suggestive magazine with naked ladies."

"Sure do!" Shigure said, grinning. "Which is why I – a popular novelest – don't want to be seen buying it. But, you're all eighteen now –" really, Kyo was only eighteen. He'd turned it three days beforehand, and a large sweat drop formed on the back of his head. "– So I figure that you can get it for me."

"W-We'll go, Shigure-san." Tohru said weakly, her whole vision of being a decent teenage girl shattered now that she knew she was going out to but porn. "… We already said we would."

"Great!" Shigure said, "Here's the change, off you go!"

Kyo, Yuki and Tohru ambled out of the house, a grey cloud of regret hanging on their shoulders.

"When we got the mission," Tohru said, for the first time in the series sounding distraught, "I thought it would be like on Naruto or something…"

Kyo and Yuki sweat dropped. She actually believed that things like Naruto existed? Of course, they weren't thinking about their own curse, but heck… if they existed, anything could.

"At least I'm not the one going to the counter with it." Yuki said finally, looking with an amused look at Kyo, who was faring the worse of the trio.

"SHUT UP, YOU DAMN RAT!" Was all that popped into his head, and Yuki turned away with a look of satisfaction.

Tohru simply watched the two of them. Maybe she could wait outside the shop, or look at a different section. Yeah. That might work.

The trio paused when they reached the store, before going in. It looked like any other regular book store, selling books from all different countries, and it didn't even suggest that it sold the disgusting stuff that the trio – mainly Kyo – was going in to buy.

Still, the trio walked in slowly, and giving each other much needed support – really it was just Tohru giving them both support, and Yuki was only sticking around because the Prince Yuki Fan Club were all standing around the teen section, reading their own published magazine all about the Prince.

"Well, here we are."

Tohru instinctively covered her eyes, and was then lead around by the arm by Yuki. Both of which, turned a bright shade of pink, and began to look for the title. "Not here… not here..."

"Kyo, I found it." Yuki said, picking it up – not noticing the shrieks of horror that all the fan club girls, who had noticed him, emitted when they watched their Prince pick up… pick up that! The most suggestive magazine in Japan!

So, leading Tohru, Kyo and Yuki headed towards the counter, all three another shade of red. It was lucky that the line was so long. Finally, the group stood together, hiding the book.

"What are you three doing here?"

The group jumped as high as a sky scraper, leaving holes in the roof (and a very irritated sales clerk) as they did so. Jittery, they turned around. As luck would have it, Hatori had lined up behind them, holding more English Literature.

"H-Hatori-san!" Tohru managed to splutter, noticing that Kyo and Yuki were tongue tied, "We were asked to get this book for Shigure."

"What book?" Hatori asked, amused by Kyo and Yuki's embarrassment.

"This one!" Tohru said, yanking it out of Kyo's hand – both Yuki and Kyo turned blue at the thought of Hatori seeing it – and handed it to Hatori.

"Oh." Hatori said, flicking it over to the back, "This must be the new issue."

New Issue? All three thought in unison, huge sweat drops forming on the back of their head, along with long blue lines, and a large black cloud.

"And let me guess," Hatori said, looking up from the page-one girl, "You three feel tainted buying it? You know, all healthy men read this stuff."

All healthy men… Yuki and Kyo thought in unison, while Tohru was muttering something about "really". Healthy maybe, if you've been around Shigure and Ayame…

"That's right." Tohru rambled, coming up with a bazillion excuses.

"I'll buy it for you then. I've been meaning to read it, anyway."

You've been meaning to read it? The sweat drop, blue lines, and cloud re-appeared.

But, the group was still thankful, and they handed the magazine to Hatori, and slipped out of line. They all watched with amazement as Hatori actually brought it with a straight face, and even small talked to the clerk about it. He finally joined them outside, and handed the magazine back to Kyo.

"Remind Shigure to call me after he's finished with it." Hatori said offhandedly, and turned and left, leaving a be-dazzled group of teenagers behind them, who now had a completely new outlook on the Dragon.
